Chairman's Report - July 2010

 

On the 17th June members showed displays from their ‘Commonwealth' collections. Included were items from various Pacific Islands, West Indies, Africa & Canada (1 frame); an Australia/Canada and an Australia/Eire joint issues featuring the sailing vessels ‘Marco Polo' and ‘Polly Woodhouse' with magazine extracts on their history, (1/2 frame); Nigeria, Coronation of GVI 1937 and later commemoratives, (1/2 frame); Prince Charles and Princess Diane's Wedding, issues from G.B. and a majority of Commonwealth countries with example of the three main printers, (2 frames); and finally a 5 frame show of Tristan de Cunha, Ascension Island, Christmas Island, Cocos Keeling Islands, Fiji, Niue, Soloman Islands, Norfolk Islands, Papua New Guinea, Malta and Montserrat, (miniature sheets and se-tennant strips).

On July 1st the club was entertained by the guest speaker Jeremy Hutchinson with his very fine display on the ‘Isle of Man'. He commenced with a brief history, from the Viking days, through it's associations with Scotland up to being conquered by England.

He showed some early postcards with various English stamps and cancellations from 1902 to 1958, when Manx issued it's own regionals. Both pre. & post. decimalisation sets were shown. In 1973 I of M was granted it's own independent postal administration and commenced printing it's own stamps starting with the famous Viking issue. His display continued with all the issues (sheet stamps and books) up to 2004's ‘Power of Steam'.
